A Brumate Era 40-ounce water bottle with a locking feature that'll ensure you never have a repeat of the other day where you accidentally bumped your arm into your cup and spilled your freshly filled drink ALL over your laptop...yikes.
A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste to help you tackle all of your kid-made messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time. Your kiddo's attempt at Piccasso-ing your walls won't scare this cleaning product. 😅
A heated beard straightener to tame the wild beast that your facial hair becomes when left to its own devices — it'll also double as a straightener for the hair on your head!

A pair of horizontal glasses for anyone tired of getting a crick in their neck after assuming they'd lie down for just a moment to read but then get fully absorbed in the gripping novel and find themselves straining for hours. No more book neck!!!!
A six-pack XL wool dryer balls that'll act as a natural fabric softener and reduce static cling so the only ⚡️shock⚡️ you'll experience while taking your laundry out will be over how wrinkle-free your clothes look.
A fume-free oven cleaner, free of lye or harsh fumes so you won't have to hold your breath the entire time you're removing caked-on messes and grease stains from your oven.
A "Cup Cozy Pillow" — aka an absolute essential for achieving peak comfort goals in your living room. It features a spot to hold your remote, two mugs, and two additional beverages. You honestly may never want to leave your couch again.

Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers to save you when a big ol' pimple pops up the night before the date you've been excited about all week. (And you SHOULD be — it's with that cute guy from the coffee shop you've been daydreaming about asking out for months!)
An instant foot-peeling spray that'll have you saying, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Was this concocted by a witch in the woods?" because it works so incredibly well you won't believe your eyes as it renews your poor feet (I know, you've been standing on them at work ALL day) and leaves all of your dead skin in its wake.

This lightweight color-adapting formula now comes in four fabulous shades!
Bottle Bright tablets to restore your favorite thermos to its original shiny state. It would be a real shame if you took the time to brew yourself a delicious cup of coffee only to pour it into your cup and discover it was nasty inside.
A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner you'll pat yourself on the back for buying when you see how it obliterates the stains left behind by your overexcited-peeing-all-over-the-place pup or your toddler who thinks your carpet is a canvas for finger painting.
A garbage guard that'll ensure the only creatures congregating in your backyard are you and your friends around some freshly grilled hot dogs instead of disgusting flies and bugs.
Sticky Stakes to trap unwanted pests trying to feed off your plants and buzz annoyingly around your apartment. Toss your fly swatter in the garbage. You won't be needing it anymore.
A scrubber brush you can attach to your drill (!!!) and help you clean your tub/shower like you've never cleaned it before but without the arm workout. You'll be singing "I've got the powerrrr" in no time!
A veggie chopper because none of us have time to cry at the club anymore — and by "club," I mean your kitchen, and by "us," I mean myself (I'm reserving for my annual viewing of Titanic). Anyways, this baby will dice up anything you throw in it at record speed. Chop, chop!
A next-level Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that'll purge your face of blackheads and any other gross residue your makeup may have left behind. You won't believe the debris that'll pop out of your skin after using this magical product.
Blue Bottle's New Orleans–inspired instant coffee packets to bring your tastebuds to Bourbon Street (even if you've never set foot there in real life). This blend has chicory root powder to give it that unique NOLA taste you've likely been craving since you tried it in a Blue Bottle cafe IRL, who sells this blend regularly.
A storage container designed to give your deli meats and cheeses a place to call home. It has an airtight seal to keep your items fresh *and* you can write on it with a dry-erase marker, so you can remember what you bought at the store when you're bleary-eyed and whipping up a quick sandwich before the workday.
A HyperChiller you can use directly with your hot coffee machine to magically transform it into an iced drink in less than a minute. It's a must-have if you're like me and prefer to drink iced coffee all year. Yes, that includes when it's 25 degrees out — go ahead, judge me!!!
A bagel guillotine, because if you're treating yourself to your favorite breakfast (is there anything better than a freshly toasted bagel???) you certainly shouldn't have to struggle to flawlessly cut it in half while your dog is barking; the kids are fighting over the remote, and a neighbor is cutting noisily cutting their lawn.
A pet hair remover with a unique patented brush design that'll let you invite guests to sit down without fear of them being covered head-to-toe in your dog's smelly hair (especially if they're overdue for a bath...yikes).
Wad-Free, which attaches to the corners of your sheets to help them dry faster, without wrinkles, and prevent them from turning into a hungry monster that swallows up your socks for all of eternity.
An extra-large car cup holder to transform your car's too-tiny cup holder into one that'll properly support your oversize emotional support water bottle. You're welcome.
And reusable pouch tops that'll fit any one you've purchased from the store — yes, even that VERY specific brand that's the only one your kiddo will seemingly CONSIDER eating. It has a no-spill control valve you'll thank your lucky heavens for when your little one is eating in the car.

The 22 Coziest Father's Day Gifts For Homebody Dads

Whether it be for Father's Day, a holiday or birthday gift, I am definitely among the many who find it difficult to shop for their dad. However, I find that things get easier when I try to hone in on meaningful gifts that he'll actually enjoy and that are representative of who he is as a person, as opposed to just grabbing a generic 'man gift.' And while whiskey stones and camping accessories are all well and good, not every dad is a big drinker or outdoor aficionado.

USS Gettysburg returns to Naval Station Norfolk after 8-month deployment

NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – After an 8-month deployment, USS Gettysburg, part of the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, has returned to its homeport at Naval Station Norfolk. Bittersweet homecoming for USS Harry S. Truman The Ticonderoga class cruiser departed in September 2024, traveling to Europe and the Middle East to conduct combat operations in the Red Sea, as well as exercises with NATO allies. 'It was amazing in a lot of ways. We learned a lot. We have a lot to share with the fleet based off our experience in the Red Sea in particular, but the feeling to be home as well, it's amazing,' said Captain John Lucas, Commanding Officer of USS Gettysburg. Retired naval aviator shares insight on 'friendly fire' incident in the Red Sea The ship was in headlines back in December following an instance of friendly fire, shooting down a U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet over the Red Sea. 'It's under investigation, those results have not been revealed yet to the public. I can tell you again, we took on a lot of lessons from that event,' said Captain Lucas. After the deployment was extended twice, families of the roughly 330 returning sailors gathered along the pier at Naval Station Norfolk to welcome their loved ones home. 'It's a very long time. We're kind of used to it. We have another child in the military, so we've been down this road. But this is her first time having been gone so this long, so it was tough. We're going to take her home and whatever she wants to do is what she wants to do. It's her break, with us along for the ride,' said Carrie Ayd, mother of returning sailor. Captain Lucas said while the Navy is retiring certain cruisers, he's not certain what the future holds for USS Gettysburg, but said he and his crew will be ready when called upon. 'I think we're all ready for a nice long winter nap in the summer. All I can tell you is my job and this crew's job is going to be to be ready to go again when called upon, whenever that might be. I'm excited to maintain and be a part of the team for as long as they'll have me,' he said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
